As a retired local fire chief and District 3 resident, I am pleased to support Denise Loustalot for county supervisor.

Denise is a true servant leader who has dedicated many years of service to the needs of our local communities. I especially like her commitment to improving our county’s public warning system to better protect resident’s safety in the event of a wildfire.

In her role as East Region Town Hall chair, she has been an active and informed advocate for the concerns of District 3 residents. She will bring this same hands-on approach to the job of county supervisor.

On June 5, I will be voting for Denise Loustalot for county supervisor.
